Your Green-Portfolio Life

It arrived without fanfare. Many Generation Xers (born 1965-1980) began their third chapter by turning fifty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Luckily, we were skilled and experienced professionals in navigating change. As the future of work burst on the scene, we added this unfamiliar and concerning ball to our responsibilities as parents and caregivers. As corporations attempted to stay relevant, many Gen Xers began to question long held career beliefs. Even those not yet fifty found themselves underwhelmed with the lack of response from employers. Some daydreamed of a more meaningful time beyond back-to-back zoom meetings. 

 

Some Xers burned out; others left due to reorganizations or having had enough. Staying a full time employee at an organization until sixty-five was not in the cards for many. This eBook is for Gen Xers wanting a meaningful path forward beyond working for others full-time. Many yearn for a fresh, meaningful future-but where to begin? 

 

This eBook is your navigation companion. It was crafted to guide you through the initial steps of designing a life filled with authenticity and purpose. By the end of this guidebook, you'll gain:

• Practical tools and self-coaching strategies to reclaim your authenticity and purpose;
• A three-phase process to begin exploring unconventional, fulfilling paths;
• Insights to overcome unhealthy working habits;
• Awareness of common pitfalls of life transitions.
